The Little Death

I saw this movie on TV with the lowest of expectations, well knowing that I was not exactly about to see a blockbuster... What first struck me and confirmed me in my worst prejudices was the apalling acting by most of the characters and the highly predictable script.

Well, one might ask, why keep watching? Because this film actually entertains, it does have its twists and turns, and it do surprise the audience now and then. Sure, the scripting, the set pieces, the actors' clothes, the camera shooting and the artistic effects are evidently copied from movies far greater than this. And sure, the subtleness of the characters and the environment is - to say the least - fairly limited. But it works - it serves its purpose - it entertains us.

The screen writer leaves little to our imagination at times (you know what I mean - pityful for such a bad movie). The movie doesn't exactly challenge its viewers. And it contains almost any kliché movie scene you can ever think of (including the courtroom-verdict scene, the classical scary movie scenes, and, in particular, the scene with the man, insaneously obsessed with the female main character, developing pictures of her in his darkroom). But in the end, it still goes quite well for 90 minutes of brainless entertainment on a sunday night. As a matter of fact, I've seen lot worse movies... 5/10... see it if its on TV, but don't spend money on it, please...

The road is a tough place for womanizing musician Nick Hannon (Brent David Fraser). His father Ted (J. T. Walsh) gives him a corporate job which he reluctantly takes. His stepmom Kelly (Pamela Gidley) gains the attention of creepy Bobby Lomax (Dwight Yoakam) and she enjoys the attention. After Ted's death, Nick inherits half of the business but he has to work there for two years. If he fails, his uncle Paul (D. W. Moffett) inherits his share.

Well, Nick is annoying. Ultimately, I don't care about anything happening to him. Gidley does a fine femme fatale but her finale is bad. The reveals should be more shocking but nothing in this is that compelling. This would work better if Nick has a more charismatic actor.

Typical 90s erotic thriller movie, Plot is now new, because there are several 90s movie about same story theme about Mysterious woman married to rich guy.

anyhow the movie is not that boring, and it gets more exiting later until after half of it starting getting bored and off track in LAW trial , But then suddenly the movie gets very twisted and surprised turned which makes movie damn good. The only problem of this movie is ENDING. its way to rushed or sudden ending which is very unsatisfied when focusing more than an hour that what would happen later.

Anyhow, the another thing is , its an EROTIC movie but it really lacks nudity and sex scenes. wish there would be more.

A unoriginal crime-thriller. Plot is fairly generic and instantly recognisable. There is some intrigue and mystery re the crime side but that's about the extent of the positives.

Another of the endless wave of erotic thrillers that filled rental shelves in the nineties. This one's a torrid little affair featuring four principle characters, all of them linked by femme fatale Pamela Gibney. The biggest draw in the cast is J. T. Walsh who gives one of his usual edgy, volatile performances that burns up the screen and reminds us of what a strong talent he was. The film is let down by dated direction, although some of the crane shots are quite nice, which means that all of the big events in the plot pass by without much notice. The numerous sex scenes are typical of their kind and feature an obvious body doubles which is a little distracting, while the other cast members aside from Walsh are merely adequate.
